Advertising Opportunity: Tacoma & South Sound 2025 SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Macaroni KID's Summer Camp and Activities Guide features local businesses and organizations that provide camp, vacation bible school, workshops, and/or other educational/entertaining activities for kids during their summer break and is one of our most popular guides. It offers a unique opportunity for camp providers to reach their specific audience of local parents. Our digital newsletters are delivered straight to the in-boxes of self-subscribed parents and caregivers in the Gig Harbor - Mason County, Tacoma - South Sound, and Snoqualmie Valley-Sammamish-Issaquah areas, maximizing the reach of your business to your target audience.
Listing your camp in this guide is targeted, no-waste marketing for you.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Camps are placed in the edition relative to their location/physical address, e.g. your "home edition." If your camp is located in Kitsap County or North Seattle, your home edition is not in my area, reach out to them directly. Permission from the publisher is required to be listed in multiple editions. Please contact us (info below) if you're interested in a multiple-edition listing.

PLEASE BE SURE to select the correct edition for your camp's location.

Please complete the form below once your payment has been submitted
The below form is for paid submissions,  CLICK HERE  for the low cost listing form

Please submit one form per camp category listing, i.e. if you offer a cooking camp AND a theatre camp, that is two separate camp listings and you'd need to remit payment and a separate form for each as they would be listed in the guide under different category headings. If, however, you offer several different types of Nature camps or you have a general day camp where the "theme" changes each week (but nothing else changes), that can be submitted on one form.
